More Insights

Built in 1943 (83 years old).
Condition: Built in 1943, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer' with 'incredible potential,' indicating a need for significant updates. While it features some modern touches like recessed lighting and stainless steel kitchen appliances, the kitchen cabinetry, countertops, and flooring are dated. The bathroom has a somewhat updated vanity but very old-style tiles in the shower/tub area. The presence of window AC units suggests a lack of central cooling. The home is functional and appears maintained, but its systems and aesthetics are largely outdated, requiring substantial renovation to meet current quality standards.
